Change of POV: 3rd POV
"Issei.." Morgan spoke first, she just opened the doors leading to her home, allowing Issei and Isaiah to enter.
"Hi Morgan." Issei waved before entering.
Isaiah simply nodded, as he followed Issei's example.
Morgan returned Isaiah nod, she already informed Isaiah what she is going to say today.
She is going to invite Issei into her faction, the 'Dominion of Mankind'.
Issei is ten year old right now, he is at where he is actually capable to learn and think for himself.
In canon, Issei had terrible talent with Magic, but he was damn luckiest of every single protagonist with his power ups. And furthermore, to activate his Balance Breaker and use it he needs a strong body.
A body that he can obtain by brutal training from early without trading his Humanity to Draig or be reincarnated into a Devil.
And if all goes as planned, Issei can even learn to use weapons and actual Hand-to-Hand skills rather than just 'throwing his punches' around.
And most important, he would be able to get experience.
And while Morgan though as that, she led both Issei ans Isaiah to living room.
As they sat down, she opened the bag of chips she bough just earlier and put it on the table.
" Issei do you believe in Magic?" She would go straight to the point at first, and then later she would check-mate it with Isaiah Sword-Birth as an example.
Issei just simply stared at Morgan as if she grew another head for a moment before shaking his head. " No I don't believe in Magic, maybe when I was younger I did but not anymore. " He replied before he picked the bottle with apple juice and sipped his glass full of it. " But why are you asking such thing? Are we not too old to be talking about Magic?"
He asked his own question, still not meeting Morgan's case.
"What if Magic was real then?" She asked him, she wanted to hear his own thoughts after all.
Issei hummed. "Then I would try to learn it, and maybe try to be as good as that Merlin guy from Arthur's legends, he was teacher of that Morgan Le Fay too!" He added with a grin, as he giggled. He purposefully did so, after all he got curious before what does Morgan's name mean and he did his best to search it.
And that's where he found legend about 'Witch Morgan Le Fay'.
Vein bulged on Morgan's forehead as she forced herself to calm down, Issei is a just a kid, issei is just an idiot, Issei is just an fool.
She recited it constantly in her mind for several second before calming herself down. " And what if I say that I can use Magic?" She questioned him, Issei has been influenced by Morgan from early age, and thus since then his personality had drastically changed over the course of years, despite being 10 year old, he appears to be way more mature and intelligent for his age.
Issei frowned. " Then prove you can use it!" He accused Morgan while pointing his finger at her, then throwing a chips into his mouth.
Isaiah felt as if he was being forgotten in this whole conversation so he stepped in once he saw his chance to shine. " Can I show him my [Sword-Birth]?" He asked.
Morgan motioned for him to do so.
Isaiah smiled before standing up, and walking away from the couch a meter or two before extending his hand forward.
Issei raised his eyebrow, but even with his improved intelligence he was still a kid and couldn't help but feel hopeful, hopeful that maybe, maybe magic is real.
A plain, dark and one meter long sword manifested from the floor before Isaiah gripped it's handle and pulled it out. This sword is a basic and weak Demonic Sword created by Sword-Birth, a common Sacred Gear that allows the user to create Demonic Swords.
A basic gear, nothing special. But if trained correctly, user even as a Human has potential to at least reach High-Class or Ultimate-Class under most intense training's.
Issei's eyes practically sparkled with delight as he stood up from the couch and walked towards Isaiah, but just when his palm was about to touch Demonic Sword, Isaiah disintegrated it.
Issei cast an annoyed look towards him for that. " Why?!" He exclaimed before pouting.
Isaiah chuckled. " That was my Sacred Gear, called [Sword-Birth] it allows me to create Demonic Swords which are evil counterpart of Holy Swords. If Holy Swords have incredible effective damage towards Evil creatures then Demonic Swords put minor curses on wounds of those it wounds, like more bleeding, harder time healing and similar since they are weak Demonic Swords." The he exhaled "But we wouldn't want you to hurt yourself, would we?"
Isaiah then once again extended his left arm, and this time created a small plain yet dark 'Dagger' instead of short swords before twirling it once more. And then disintegrating it. Just to show Issei that it wasn't a trick to begin with.
It was rhetorical question anyway, Isaiah walked towards his seat before sitting, Issei still stood dumbfounded, trying to process what is happening. Then he asked. " What is a sacred gear?" He asked before he walked towards his previous seat on the couch before sitting again on it.
This time both Morgan and Isaiah had his undivided attention.
Morgan nudged Isaiah to answer.
"Sacred Gears, think of them as weapons that just some special Humans are born with. Some Sacred Gears can create Items like mine does by creating Demonic Swords, other can create Holy Swords for example. " He paused. " And then there are Sacred Gears that have Animals sealed in them, acting as power batteries for the entire Sacred Gear."
By the tie he explained, Issei's eyes sparkled even more. " You said Humans, then do Gods, Fairies and Dragons exist too?!" He quickly answered.
" Yes indeed they do!" It was Morgan who answered before bumping Issei's head with her fist. " Almost every single race or being you read from stories exist or existed. The thing is they are hiding themselves from Humans and live separately in their dimensions.. I mean in their worlds." She had to change dimension, she doesn't think that Issei understands that concept yet.
"Ach! " He rubbed his head where Morgan hit him while Isaiah chuckled. " Worlds? Do you mean like Heaven, Hell and Asgard or other planets?"
Morgan replied. " Worlds like Asgard, Hell which is called Underworld and Heaven. There are way more other worlds like that and yes."
Issei was in deep thoughts before he asked his next question. " Then do you also have a Sacred Gear too? Morgan." He asked curiously this time.
Morgan shock her head. " No, I don't have a Sacred Gear. I have this." She outstretched her right hand towards the table and immediately used her [Light-Manipulation] [C-Rank] to create 'chopsticks of light'.
Issei's eyes sparkled even more. " Then since you said you don't have a Sacred Gear, then is that Magic?" He asked hopefully.
Morgan nodded, since Issei outstretched his palms to 'touch' the chopsticks made of light, she allowed him too and gave them to her.
She purposefully created them since she knew he would want to touch them, and they won't harm either way so why not let him touch them.
"Weird.. I can't describe them, they don't have that hard touch like wooden chopsticks would but yet.." He paused before he took them both and tried to break them. Key word 'tried'. " Why can't I break them?!"
Isaiah chuckled at that. " The chopsticks are made from light similar to [Light-Power] that Angels have."
Issei paled before he slowly moved his head towards Morgan who sweetly smiled at him.
"Yes Issei, that magic was similar to what Angels use. I'm truly like a saint. Am I not?" She questioned him with close-eyed smile and a small tilt of her head.
Issei gulped, but deep down he thought o himself. ' If you are Saint, then I'm Gabriel himself!'
"O-oh yes you are. But then, do I also have a Sacred Gear, and how do you know if someone has one?" This was a question Morgan waited, though Isaiah was unsure how to reply.
Isaiah doesn't even know if Issei has a Sacred Gear to begin with.
So obviously, it was Morgan who replied. " Yes indeed you have one. "She replied before sipping coke into her own glass and proceeding to take as sip of the drink.
Making a 'dramatic pause' as Isaiah narrowed his eyebrows meanwhile Issei stared expectantly.
" To know how someone has a Sacred Gear, there are couple of ways. For example: Sacred Gears, depending what variant you have they will feel 'different compared to Magic to other people'.Now not everyone would be able to sense a Sacred Gear, once a Sacred Gear 'matures' in you enough, it would be capable to sense it, smell it too to some other races. " She threw a chips into her mouth. " And your Sacred Gear feels powerful, not only powerful but it radiates with a 'Dragon Smell', I have assumption which one is it, but i'll keep it to myself now." She said.
Isaiah kept quiet, he is interested in what Sacred Gear Issei has, don't get him wrong. He has been friend with Issei for over a year, and he sincerely hopes that Issei will have a strong Sacred Gear to protect himself.
"And how do I activate it?!" Issei practically screamed of happiness before he was hit on the head with Morgan's fist once more. " ACH! Do you need to hit me every five minutes!?" He complained as he rubbed his head, he didn't saw this one coming.
"Tsk! Quiet down idiot! Even neighbours kilometers can hear what you are screaming!" She scolded him befor moving back to the topic. " And how to activate it? It's really simple, first you need to be aware of it's existence, seconds you need to imagine it." She took another sip.
"Imagine it?" Issei questioned.
"Yes Issei, you need to imagine holding something in your hand. When I learnt I had [Sword-Birth] I imagine I was holding a most powerful sword I could. Wiht beautiful blade and strong powers, and you need to imagine something powerful for it to be activated too." It was Isaiah who answered this time before he sipped Coca Cola into his own glass too.
" I see." Issei murmured before he extended his left hand in front of his face, and then closed his eyes.
Both Morgan and Isaiah watched.
Issei imagined it.
He imagined he was holding a large, two handed Axe, two meters long in his left hand.
Beautiful red-colored Axe, with dark handle. Axe's head was one meter large itself too, he imagined it.
Then he started 'picturing' some type of aura around the so called axe, a dark-red sipping aura, leaking from the Axe and distorting reality around itself as it tried to take form of something else.
And it burst with incredible power too!
And his imagination actually activated his Sacred Gear, as something green gloved and enveloped his left arm.
In canon, Issei only had women's chest in mind, it was the only thing in his head that his imagination fell off quickly.
And young Issei right now, still untainted like he would have been if Morgan was not in the picture certainly had much more imagination than his alternate self would have.
And it paid off, because Sacred Gear manifested on his left arm as red-dragon gauntlet with green gem on top of it.
The catch is, it activated as 'fully awakened Boosted Gear [Dragon Booster] form' rather than what people have mistaken for Twice Critical.
Isaiah eyes widened in confusion.
Morgan smiled. " Congrats Issei! You have Boosted Gear!"
Isaiah eyes widened even more!
